Chapter 132 Promotion and the name of the new palace.

Having so many more sets of clothes gives Liu Xuan more boudoir fun, but other than that, it really has no other meaning.

In addition, in addition to eating up the grown-up Zhen Mi, Liu Xuan also issued an edict to conscript the Qiao sisters into the palace and make them beauties.

The Qiao sisters have become famous in the past few years since they came to Chang'an, but... who among the powerful people in Chang'an doesn't know that these sisters are the women the emperor is eyeing? Who dares to compete with the emperor for women? Of course.

No one dared to disturb him, even if there were a few who didn't open their eyes, before Liu Xuan could react, someone who wanted to please the emperor would already have taken the initiative.

For these reasons, Mr. Qiao lived a stable life for a few years after moving to Chang'an. However, as his daughters grew older, he became anxious - in the past, a group of people stared at his woman and worried about what to do.

, and now he is worried about what to do if his daughter cannot get married when she is older?

Although he has understood that the young clan relative who comes here from time to time is interested in his daughter, it is too uncomfortable to always be so indifferent and not express his position clearly? He can't just send his daughter up by himself, can he?

Fortunately, when Liu Xuan saw that the sisters were about the same age, he stopped pretending to be mysterious and directly issued an edict in the name of the emperor to bring the two girls into the palace - the emperor issued an edict, and of course Gong Qiao did not dare to disobey it.

, and more importantly, Liu Xuan had already let Duke Qiao know his identity before issuing the edict.

Of course, the sisters Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao also knew about it, and he was not interested in any "surprises". What if the sisters were already interested in him and couldn't think of it, so they threw themselves into the river and hanged themselves?

In short, in the tenth year of Jian'an, Liu Xuan's inner residence expanded again.

And while Liu Xuan was accepting the Qiao sisters as concubines, someone in the court also suggested that the current Princess Wannian was not young and should find a suitable husband...

Only then did Liu Xuan realize that although his sister was not old enough to marry in his eyes, for people in this era, it was already a bit difficult to accept that she was in her twenties and had not yet gotten married.

Already.

Suitable candidates?

Lu Bu seems to be a good choice. At least Lu Bu is very gentle towards his woman. Judging from the fact that he is now strong and almost immortal, and he also takes good care of his wife, you can tell that he is a family man.

Liu Xuan had originally considered Lu Bu, but his sister had not thought about getting married at that time, so the matter was thrown aside.

at the moment……

"Let's see if there are any suitable ones. Anyway, that girl is also practicing. Although the progress of her skills is not very fast, at least she doesn't have to worry about her lifespan. And with the popularization of cultivation knowledge, age will not be so important!"

Thinking of this, Liu Xuan put this matter aside again, but when he saw his sister a few days ago, he asked: "Do you have a sweetheart?" After learning that there was no one, he stopped asking about it.

As for the imperial court, there has not been much change in the past few years. However, after several years of development, those who later submitted to the imperial court gradually found their own positions. Tian Feng and Jushou both served as imperial censors.

Chen Lin, who was recommended by Cao Cao, started out as Yilang, and now she has become the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, and looking at this situation, it is very likely that she will be moved to the left minister of the Ministry of Rites before next year (although they are nominally on the same level, the left is more senior than the right)

It is an unwritten custom).

In addition, Jia Xu, whom Liu Xuan specifically asked, finally learned that he was indeed working beside Zhang Xiu and had also joined the court. Liu Xuan did not take special care of him, but assigned him to the Staff Department of the Ministry of War. Over the past few years, Jia Xu

Xu relied on his own strength to climb to the position of Chief of Staff, and if he took one step further, he would be the Chief of Staff.

The changes in civil servants are basically like this. The important positions of the Six Ministries and Nine Ministers have almost no changes, and the original team is still retained. It seems that over the past few years, even the stubborn old ministers have understood that now is the time for change.

They either adapt or are eliminated.

What makes Liu Xuan happy is that although this group of people sometimes makes him feel annoying, they are indeed very capable. After understanding their situation, they did burst out with considerable motivation and made many outstanding achievements.

This gave Liu Xuan no reason to 'fire' these people, so he continued to retain them.

He will not be disappointed by this. Anyway, these people will be slowly eliminated by the court as the changes continue to deepen. Of course, if they really perform well, Liu Xuan does not mind giving them more benefits and even absorbing them into his own

In the circle of confidants.

But if they cannot do that, then even if they will not be eliminated by the ever-changing situation, they will leave the court due to age or some illness, and then be replaced by younger, more energetic and more suitable for this era.

people instead.

This is generally the case for civil servants, and necessary rewards and promotions for generals have been carried out because of the complete end of the Hebei War.

As the commander-in-chief, Cao Cao conquered the four states in Hebei, so he naturally needed a heavy reward. It happened that Yuan Shu was also dealt with. Liu Xuan took advantage of the situation and made Cao Cao the rear general, but the title did not change. He planned to re-establish the title level and name after moving the capital.

No., when that time comes, the existing subordinates will be re-rewarded.

He didn't hide this matter from Cao Cao, so Cao Cao naturally wouldn't be dissatisfied that he just upgraded his general number.

In addition to Cao Cao, the ones who made great achievements were the Yulin Cavalry and the Hubao Cavalry. One went from Bingzhou from west to east, the other from Xuzhou to Qingzhou and then from east to west. They almost conquered an entire state with just one army.

, so in terms of credit, these two people cannot be ignored.

However, the situation of these two people is quite special. Both the Yulin Cavalry and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry are specially organized elite military horses and cannot be easily adjusted. Once the general is promoted, the entire command system must be readjusted.

In addition, although Yuan Shao was destroyed in the past few years, Hebei was not really peaceful. Wuhuan in the north of Youzhou would send a large number of cavalry to circle around from time to time. Gongsun Zan had been in that area with 10,000 elite forbidden troops and 5,000 Yulin cavalry.

activities, and had only recently returned to the capital, so it was not suitable to promote the generals of these two elite units at that time.

Similarly, although Guan Yu helped the army capture the ferry, it was not easy to make changes for a while. Therefore, he promoted and appointed other generals first.

Huang Zhong captured Liyang, which was a real achievement. In addition, Huang Zhong was originally a general, but this time he was promoted to a partial general.

Along with him, Zhang Fei was promoted to partial general. Cao Cao found out about a special army. Zhang Fei led the army to detect and hold back this army, and then with the help of reinforcements led by Guan Yu, he completely annihilated this army, so that

Cao Cao's army avoided the danger of being attacked by surprise, and should be promoted based on merit.

Even Zhang Nan, who accompanied the army as a guide, was awarded the title of General Bi because of this, fully embodying Liu Xuan's saying, 'Reward for merit!'.

In addition, Xu Rong and Zhang Xiu, who had just surrendered to the imperial court, had high status, so Xu Rong was awarded the title of General Bi, and Zhang Xiu was granted the title of General Yangwu.

The so-called General Yangwu is a miscellaneous general, whose status is higher than that of a partial general. The son of Yangwu basically has no meaning in terms of authority, and he just shouts nice things.

A similar situation occurred with Zhang He and Gao Lan, both of whom were granted the title of partial general.

In addition to these people, Yu Jin's status has been changed. He was directly promoted from Captain of the Imperial Army to General Hengjiang. This was to allow Yu Jin to better command the navy soldiers.

Of course, in addition to the fact that he trained a passable naval force, Liu Xuan gave him the title of general because Yu Jin attracted a talented person.

That was the year before last. After Yu Jin took the initiative to learn water warfare knowledge from Liu Xuan, because Liu Xuan said that there was no ship yet, it was not possible for him to learn systematically for the time being, so Yu Jin took the initiative to go to the south for a 'study tour' to see what happened.

Is there any chance to learn about water fighting?

Of course, this 'study tour' couldn't be as casual as a white body, so Yu Jin chose the most suitable place outside Yangzhou to learn water warfare: Jingzhou.

Liu Xuan thought for a while, and it was a waste of time to let Yu Jin stay here anyway, so he asked him to go to Jingzhou for a tour. In addition, Jingzhou was still nominally subordinate to the imperial court, so he was not afraid of anything happening to Yu Jin.

On the surface, he was inspecting Jingzhou on behalf of the imperial court and also inspecting the Jingzhou navy. In fact, he was letting Yu Jin steal troops by himself and learn as much as he could.

Unexpectedly, instead of stealing this water fighting skill, Yu Jin was asked to steal someone: Gan Ning, Gan Xingba, who was frustrated with Huang Zu in Jiangxia, was abducted back by Yu Jin.

Gan Xingba had been a water thief, so he was the right professional counterpart in water warfare. Moreover, this guy was not only good at water warfare, he was also good at land warfare. He was an all-rounder. Such a talent was actually abducted by Yu Jin. Of course Liu Xuan was happy.

When I was happy, I sealed General Hengjiang.

Gan Ning took advantage of the situation and appointed him as a general, who was responsible for assisting Yu Jin in establishing the Han Dynasty Navy.

The courtiers had different opinions on this arrangement, but Cao Cao knew that the navy would play a vital role in the future of the Han Dynasty, so he firmly expressed his support - the generals in the court expressed their opinions, and the emperor's words were all

Once it was released, naturally no one would object.

Yu Jin's promotion was thus decided.

Basically, this is the change in civil and military affairs. As for what else is important, the name of the new palace has not yet been decided.

Originally, Liu Xuan wanted to build the Forbidden City directly, but Huang Yueying couldn't decide, so she just replied: "The White House!"

"..."

"How about the Kremlin? The Louvre is also very good! Well... actually the name Buckingham Palace is quite nice..."

Liu Xuan covered his forehead and sighed, and finally said: "Do you think these names are appropriate for the palace of the Han Dynasty?" Seeing Huang Yueying's disappointed face, Liu Xuan added: "Don't worry, San

One hundred and sixty-five buildings, although not all of them are palaces, but it’s not a problem for you to choose a few names!”

Hearing this, Huang Yueying smiled again, and there was a little weirdness in her smile: "I don't know about anything else, but the place you give Sister Cai, Sister Diao and the others will definitely be called Crystal Palace!"
